8ight T 2.0e Build

Finally put the motor and ESC wires in. Did a bench test, all sounded and looked good. The MMM is brand new (it's a v3 replacement for my v2 that died) so I won't feel totally safe until it has 3 or 4 packs through it. Very wet and muddy outside so no chance of running it just yet. Now that it will move I'm very anxious to take it out and at least check out the turning radius and the top speed as I've got it geared. (I've added 1 tooth from my settings last year, it may be a little too fast for the track but I wanted to try it.) I did check the weight and fully RTR with wheels (no battery or body) the Losi is .8 pounds lighter than the old CRT was. That's about 10% which I think is quite a bit at this scale. Anyway here are some more photos:
